The U.S. Coast Guard has delegated authority to Lloyd's Register to issue MARPOL Annex VI International Air Pollution Prevention Certificates (IAPP) on its behalf to U.S.-flag vessels.

The IAPP delegation completes the full suite of delegated authorities available to Lloyd's Register for marine vessels as a recognized organization with the U.S.-flag administration.

To formalize the new statutory authorization, Richard Sadler, Chief Executive Officer of Lloyd's Register, participated in a signing ceremony with USCG Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety and Security RADM Brian Salerno and his staff in Washington, D.C.
